In this week's episode, we have a special treat! This is a recording of our weekly peer-to-peer support group calls that we got approval from the participants to turn into a podcast.  In this podcast, we have an open and honest discussion about managing ADHD symptoms and improving mental and physical health. We explore how ADHD symptoms like impulsiveness, forgetfulness, and distractibility frequently undermine basic self-care routines like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and medication adherence. We share personal struggles and tips for making gradual improvements in these areas. Other topics include the importance of social connections for mental health, facing fears of rejection, and having new experiences that get you out of your comfort zone. We must learn to start small with sustainable changes, reframing failure as learning experiences, and being patient with ourselves. Laughing, dancing, improv, and other creative pursuits are recommended to process emotions, build confidence, and practice social skills. We stress the need to stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your progress and self-acceptance. We also dive into the difficulties of masking and feeling inauthentic in social situations. Often, this excessive masking drains mental energy, and we cover it and much more!  Check it out!  Check out our website for great blogs, information, and upcoming events!
